A cylindrical pressure vessel is subjected to internal pressure. Determine and explain the hydrostatic stress and deviatoric stress in different regions of the vessel.
💡 Hint: Identify areas of uniform pressure versus points of application.
Given the stress tensor: \( \sigma = \begin{bmatrix} 10 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & 15 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 20 \end{bmatrix} \), decompose it into hydrostatic and deviatoric components.
💡 Hint: Utilize the formula for calculating each part based on invariants.
